Summerour Blue Devil Blast

Thanks to all of OUR parents for the work you did with us this year. We are truly grateful to have you working alongside us. We are working hard on awards and report cards, so this week's newsletter is abbreviated, and much of it is just a reminder of what is going on this summer. Thanks for everything. We'll see most of you back here next year. For the rest: Good luck in all your future endeavors!

If your child needs summer learning, you should have already received a letter via ParentSquare. Here is the basic information that was sent home, in case you've misplaced it.

June 10 - June 28

The Summer Learning Support. Enrichment. Achievement (SEA) program is a free summer program that will offer extended learning opportunities to support the grade-level readiness of students who needs to meet promotional criteria through an engaging learning environment. Middle school students will attend from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the three-week session (June 10-June 28).

June 19 is a school holiday.

Transportation and meals (breakfast and lunch) are provided for children participating in the SEA program at no cost to families.

Attention all parents and guardians! Looking for a fun and fulfilling way to spend some quality time outdoors with your family this summer? Join us in the school garden for a rewarding experience of picking weeds and harvesting fresh produce! Our school garden is a vibrant hub of life, bursting with delicious fruits and vegetables waiting to be enjoyed. By lending a helping hand just 1-2 times a week, you'll not only contribute to maintaining the beauty of our garden but also have the opportunity to take home some of the bountiful harvest. It's a fantastic way to teach children about the joys of gardening, healthy eating, and the importance of community involvement. So, roll up your sleeves, embrace the sunshine, and let's cultivate memories together in our thriving school garden!
